More fallout from Britney Spears's disastrous performance at the MTV VMA Awards last weekend... The reason for her dowdy 'do? She and famed hairdresser Ken Paves had "creative differences" backstage shortly before the popstar was scheduled to perform. One source reveals that Spears ended up doing her own hair abruptly after dismissing Paves (Jessica Simpson's mane man) just 30 minutes before she took the stage. "Ken was in the middle of doing her hair, and she just said, 'You're really annoying me! Get out,'" says the source. Pave was more diplomatic, saying, "I did go to Las Vegas to work with Britney. However, once there, I made the professional decision not to do her hair for the VMAs." Another backstage staffer explained, "There were creative differences with the hair guy and he left. That was stressful." To top it off, Spears refused to use a fashion stylist and dressed herself.
